Richards says current Fish and Wildlife director Chuck Bonham is “a puppet of the enviro-terrorists and does a great job for them. He’s actually one of them.”

Problems with urban coyotes increase

Urban coyote populations have risen dramatically during the last decade, most prominently in Illinois, Colorado, and California, where a rising frequency of attacks on domestic pets and children have communities frightened.

What is "re-wilding"?

Proponents seek to reintroduce predators such as wolves and cougars, to eventually repopulate areas their ancestors dominated as their habitats. This approach has been scientifically shown to cause new problems rather than solve the issues concerning the interaction with man and wildlife.

NRA-ILA: OREGON UPDATE ON EFFORTS TO BAN LEAD AMMUNITION FOR HUNTING

An upcoming collaboration between Oregon State University and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife may foreshadow future plans to implement lead ammo restrictions for hunting.

STUDIES SHOW NO CLEAR EVIDENCE OF LEAD POISONING IN HUMANS

Recent claims of human health risks have been inserted into the AB 711 debate in order to impact the perception of lead-based ammunition.

THE DEFINING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALLIC AND INDUSTRIAL LEAD

Studies have shown that metallic lead is relatively insoluble in the digestive tract of organisms such as birds of prey and other scavengers.

COPPER AND STEEL BULLETS PRESENT GREATER FIRE HAZARD

Government research shows that solid-copper or steel bullets have a much higher propensity to ignite fires than lead core bullets.

LEAD BAN FAILURE RAISES CONCERNS FOR AB 711

The failure of a 2008 ban on lead ammunition within the California condor corridor has raised concerns regarding the prospect of extending the ban to statewide levels.

SCIENTISTS EXPLAIN FLAWS IN LEAD FINGERPRINTING METHODOLOGY

Two independent experts speak about the unreliability of isotopic compositional analysis methods being used to support mandatory lead ammunition bans.

2019 Is Deadline for Complete Implementation of Ban

But is passage of AB 711 tied to akey governmental report being delayed beyond the mandatory production deadline?

Scientific Evidence

Corroborated science must form the foundation of effective fish and wildlife management policies and regulations. HuntForTruth.org has engaged the expertise of scientists and specialists to investigate and research these critical issues to reveal the true information and science underlying the use of lead ammunition.

LEGAL DEBATE

Numerous environmental organizations have used the legal system to push their anti-hunting agendas, extend their influence over governmental agencies and broaden their authority. Environmental organizations, such as the Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club, annually file hundreds of lawsuits nationwide to advance their political ideology, but ultimately to the financial detriment of wildlife conservation measures.

Politics Over Science

In 2019, AB 711 will ban all hunting with lead ammunition throughout California. Whether you believe the bill is the result of an anti-hunting agenda or a true concern for the environment, the path this legislation has taken should raise everyone’s eyebrows.

The Fish and Game Commission has expressed serious concern regarding the questionable science alleged to support the ban of all lead based ammunition in California.
